Not that it’s news to anyone, I know. But Defensio was down this evening (because of an Amazon server failure), which meant that all of our sites have been slammed with comment spam. They all get hit constantly, but it’s…
Tell-Tale
I suppose it’s a sign of the AJC’s real priorities when the only stories they ever consider “urgent” enough to send out an email alert about are sports items. That’s the only part of the news that I have never…
County Blah
Why do we have a reverse-911 system, if the county won’t use it to tell us things like, “Hey, we had a water main break and you need to boil your water before using it.” We’ve had so many water…
Grrr
The latest version of WordPress is out, so I upgraded this blog right away, as I usually do. Of course, the plugin I use most, Now Reading, choked and won’t work anymore. Le sigh. The problems with the previous “new”…
Ooo, I Hate That!

Blah
That’s pretty much my opinion today. Blah. Blah blah blah. I couldn’t wake up enough to drive safely, so I missed an appointment that will take months to reschedule. For every assignment we do in the tech writing course I’m…
Weekend and School Update
The girl and Sam both had busy weekends. Katie went out Friday and Saturday, playing D&D with friends first, then going to a party with her sweetie during my and Sam’s date Saturday night. Sam had a computer to deliver…
Mouse-Mouse and WordPress Oddity
I will not provide a photo, but I figure this pointing device would be all-too popular with any felines or canines in your household. I wouldn’t ever have imagined such a thing if the Instructables people hadn’t sent out an…
